You need the incredibly good and yet entirely free Zonealarm. It rocks and yet it is simple to use. www.zonelabs.com

You'd be amazed at the amount of crappy programs that want to talk to the net.

W2K has built in firewall capabilities afaik. At least I saw one on my travels through the settings. It's not nice though. I would recommend Zonealarm Pro (the one you have to pay for). More options and easier to use.
